BPSD: Alzheimer’s disease vs. fronto-temporal lobar degeneration.

Reference	Sample	Findings
Bathgate et al. (2001)	30 FTD + 75 AD + 34 VaD	Loss of basic emotions, food cramming, pacing a fixed route, an absence of difficulty in locating objects, and an absence of insightfulness differentiated FTD from other dementias.
Bozeat et al. (2000)	13 FTD + 20 SD + 37 AD	Stereotypic and eating behavior and loss of social awareness more common in the FTD group. Mental rigidity and depression more frequent in SD than in FTD. Patients with FTD more disinhibited.
Chiu et al. (2006)	17 FTD + 85 AD + 32 VaD	Higher incidence of activity disturbances in FTD.
Fernández Martínez et al. (2008b)	3 FTD + 81 AD + 14 VaD	Higher aberrant motor activity prevalence in FTD.
Ikeda et al. (2002)	23 FTD + 25 SD + 43 AD	Changes in eating behaviors more common in both FTLD groups compared with AD.
Levy et al. (1996)	22 FTD + 30 AD	Higher scores for disinhibition, apathy, aberrant motor behavior, and euphoria in patients with FTD compared with AD.
Nyatsanza et al. (2003)	18 FTD + 13 SD + 28 AD	Complex ritualized behaviors were significantly more frequent in patients with fvFTD and semantic dementia than in AD.
Srikanth et al. (2005)	23 FTLD + 44 AD + 31 VaD	Disinhibition, aberrant motor behavior, and appetite/eating disturbances could reliably differentiate AD and VaD from FTLD.

AD, Alzheimer disease; FTLD, fronto-temporal lobar degeneration; FTD, fronto-temporal dementia; SD, semantic dementia.
